JOHN H. BEEBY, OF OTTAWA, ONTARIO, CANADAQ" GAS BURNER.

Application filed Optober 8, 1921. Serial ITo. 506,535.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JoHN .H. BEEBY, citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Ottawa, in the county of Carleton and Province ofOntario, Dominion of Canada, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Gas Burners, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to improve ments in gas burners adaptedfor use in gas, wood or coal stoves and particularly appertains to theexit opening of the said gas burner. 1

The principal object of the invention is to provide a burner having aspreader adjustably positioned at the discharge end thereof, whichspreader acts as a protective member and is a controlling means for theegress of the combustive elements in the mixing chamber of said burner.

With these and other aims and objects in view, the invention consists inthe construction, combination and arrangement of parts, as will behereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawingsand pointed out in the claim hereunto appended.

The drawing illustrates in a fragmentary vertical medial section, adevice constructed in accordance with the invention. certain parts beingshown in elevation and sundry elements being indicated diagrammatically.

Referring to the drawings in detail, the numeral 1 indicates the body ofthe burner which is provided with an upset terminal as indicated by thenumeral 2. This upset terminal 2 is provided with a conical seat 3. Thenumeral 4 indicates a spindle, the lower portion of which is threadedand passes through the lower portion of the burner 1. On the upperextremity of this spindle l- I provide a conical spreader inclicated bythe numeral 5, the said spreader being invertibly positioned asindicated diagrammatically. In this spreader I provide a grooveillustrated in dotted positionand indicated by the numeral 6. Thisgroove 6 provides a means whereby the operator, with the aid of screwdriver, may adjust the spreader, in relation to the conical seat 3. Thenumeral 7 indicates a wing nut positioned on the spindle 4. The saidwing nut is adapted to abut against the lower portion of the burner 1,to rigidly lock the I spreader in position when the same is properlyadjusted.

The space between the spreader 5 and the seat 3 can be readily adjustedto adapt the burner for the consumption of any number of cubic feet ofgas desired. .l/Vhen adjusted inthe desired position, wing nut 7,threadedly engaged on the spindle 4-. will hold the spreader fixedly inthis adjusted position. 7

All other burners, which have been placed on the market, have a limitedgas exit and, therefore, when a heavier Volume of gas is to be used, anew burner with a larger opening hasto be installed, while with myconstruction, the controlling means can be readily adjusted.

In all burners on the market, the exit openings are so constructed thatif the con-' .tents inthe cooking utensils boil over, the

of the stove, it will be apparent that the egress of the combustiveelements ill disperse with the same. v

YVhile it is believed that from the fore-- going description, thenatureand advantages of the invention will be readily apparent, I desire tohave it understood that the same is merely illustrative of the preferredembodiment of the invention, to which I do not limit myself and thatsuch modifications may be resorted to when desired .as properly fallwithin the scope of the appended claim.

What I claim as new is:

In a burner, a means for controlling the egress of the air'and gasmixture from the said burner, said controlling means consisting of aconical shaped spreader invertibly positioned in the exit of the saidburner, a rod having its upper end rigid with said spreader and itslower end screw threaded through the bottom of the body of the burner toform a means for positively spacing said conical shaped spreader inreiation to the exit end of said burner, said conical shaped memberhaving its outer face I Wider than the outer circumference of the saidburner and a means for locking said conical shaped member in fixed openand 10 closed position When properly regulated.

In testimony whereof, I aflix my signature in the presence of twoWitnesses;

JOHN H. 'BEEBY.
